72 Chapter 0072
"Kai, from now on, you're no longer the chief of Rewan village."
"Okay, Shura."
I was speechless at how easily he accepted the request. But I wasn't the one to complain.
"We are going to expand our territories, the abyss needs a new ruler."
My smile crept from one ear to the other and my eyes turned into two crescent moons, looking extremely evil.
"....Yes, Shura. Please be cautious with whatever you're planning to do."
This time, Kai's response wasn't immediate, but he was still supportive of me.
'I was really thinking of delaying this till after the competition, but at least putting a foundation won't hurt me, right?'
It was about time I developed my own forces.
[Are you sure you want to leave the Chrysanthemum Guild?]
'Yes.'
I am sorry, Lynch. But I am just not meant to be caged. I needed to free myself from other binding organisations to form my own guild and hopefully start taking over parts of the abyss as my first official territory in [Mayhem].
[You are the new lord of 'Rewan Village'.]
[You're the first player to own territory in the abyss!]
[Achievement Reward: +10 charisma.]
[You have unlocked the lordship contents of the game.]
"Ohh!"
As I was already a noble in name, there weren't many achievements that were worth mentioning, apart from that lordship part.
'How can I create my own guild?'
[You need a million gold coins and 3 players, not counting yourself, to create a guild.]
I had already heard about the million gold coins, but needing three more players other than me was something I was unaware of…
"....."
I looked around and all I could see were a bunch of NPCs.
—-Ahem!
'Can't NPCs be a part of the guild?'
[NPCs can join the guild and can be given official positions. But you'll still need players to officially kickstart a guild.]
[Friendly reminder: This is a multiplayer game.]
—-Stab.
I felt like the system had just stabbed me in my heart by that reminder.
'Are you saying that I am a loner?'
Anyways, the issue at hand wasn't the formation of a guild, but the management of my newly acquired land.
[Lordship

Living Condition: Very Bad
Security: Nonexistent
Food & Water supply: Average

Manager: None]
Yeah, well. I didn't even know where to start.
'Let's start with some trash clearing.'
I needed to take revenge on Egran before anything else.
'....What's my current status?'
It felt like it's been ages since I last checked my own status. I didn't even know what level I was at.
[Name: Shura
Level: 144 (12/100)%

Remaining Stat Points: 0]
After investing all my remaining stat points, my status screen looked somewhat like this. According to my level, I should have a total of 1440 basic stats, but my basic stats totalled 1658, not to mention the special stat. Most people barely had stats like Luck and Perseverance if they were lucky, and insight if they had a long ranged class that focused on aiming, but I had all types of various stats that were as rare as they can be, and they even totalled 194.
'That reminds me, didn't the undying stat have some kind of breakthrough?'
[Necromancer of the Night (Lv1)
Type: Active skill
Conditions of activation: Nighttime
Cost: 1000 Mana
Cooldown: 24 hours
Summoned Units: 2
Summon undead monsters during the dead of the night. There are 4 types of undead monsters that you can choose from. Each summoned undead will have level 50 and will last for 5 minutes if not killed or called back.
Types of units that can be summoned: Undead Swordsman, Undead Archer, Undead Mage, Undead Tank.]
[As the level of the skill increases, the cost will decrease, and the number of summoned units and their levels will increase.]
[Your understanding of magic and the environment of the abyss are together creating something phenomenal!]
[Alert!!!]
[A job change is being performed!]
[Job change failed!]
[Retrying…]
[Job change failed!]
[A new job change quest has been generated!]
"....."
What is wrong with me… or [Mayhem]? Is it so easy to stumble upon opportunities?
Now that I think about it, ever since I obtained 'Rulebreaker' and my understanding of magic increased, these things kept on happening.
[Necro-Alchemist
Difficulty: SS
Your understanding of mana, combined with your special job and your new skill to summon the dead has opened up a possibility for a new job.
Necromancy is a job despised and looked down on due to its nature that meddles with the dead. But there are many untold secrets lying even in a job like this, and you might have possibly discovered one of such secrets.
Quest acceptance reward: None
Quest declination penalty: None
Quest completion condition: Perform alchemy on a thousand souls.
Quest completion reward: The growth type Legendary Job Necro-Alchemist.]
"....."
'A LEGENDARY JOB?? ARE YOU FOR REAL?'
Isn't this too overpowered? Where is the balance? Is this even fair to the other players? A person having a Legendary Class and Legendary Job?
Just when I thought that a notification popped in front of me.
[A World Message is being conveyed.]
[The miasma of the abyss has bonded with the sword of the sage, the birth of a legend that began with corruption.]
[A strike of his sword can split the world with chaos.]
[A new Legend has been born on the Central Continent!]
[The player Abel has acquired the hidden legendary class: Abyssal Sword Sage.]
[A 30% experience boost has been granted to all players on the central continent for a week!]
"....."
'I shouldn't really be bitching about fairness right now, huh? I am no longer alone on the racetrack.'
Abel was a famous player when the game started, but he had disappeared for a long time in the game without much news as if he wasn't active in the world. Now it all made sense. By the time others were busy talking about the new legend, aka me. Some people were utilising that time to improve their own strength.
[The gates of the abyss that were closed for more than a century have opened up.]
—-Haah!
I took a deep breath and tried to think about my current situation. Till now, I was benefitting from the abyss alone, but that won't be the case anymore. Sooner or later, this place will be frequented by other players and I need to do something that others can't, or else I'll be wasting the privilege of entering the abyss first.
"Shura! A new legendary class has been born. And from the looks of it, he's in the abyss."
Jezebeth said with concern.
"Yeah I know, but how do you know?"
"Oh, ever since I evolved into a Kijin, I can see some screens in front of me."
"Oh?"
So it seems being of a higher race than the others can also unlock the status screens for some NPCs.
"Can you gather everyone? I want to assign tasks to everyone before I leave for Egran's head."
I smiled as I said that casually and Jeze looked at me weirdly. Nevertheless, she still left the hut to go and gather every ogre in the village.
'About the job quest… How am I going to find a thousand souls? Does the system want to make me a mass murderer or something? And leave that for a second, how can I even refine souls?'
There were a lot of questions and the one who can answer them was, well… no one.
`Are you sure about that?`
"Fuck!"
I jumped from my seat when I heard a young boy's voice inside my head.
'Not again! Not again!'
Was my head some kind of house for telepathy?
`What do you mean not again? I was the first one, that sword and slime came later!`
The young voice said indignantly.
'...and just who might you be?'
`Hmph, I am the Grand Magi Prolus!`
Who again? It seems like I have heard or read that name somewhere before. I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
`....I am the guy who wrote the Book of True Alchemy.`
I got a sudden flashback and remembered that this wasn't the first time this Prolus guy had tried to communicate with me.
'If there are any more people who can talk directly in my head, do it now!'
I shouted inside my head. This was getting too annoying and repetitive!
